Garden Law Discussion

I guess what the arborist is referring to is sending the neighbour an official letter for "date of knowledge" purposes. That being that, as from the "date of knowledge" (ie date they are officially informed there is a problem that is their responsibility to see to) then the onus is on them to deal w...

That won't be a possibility then by the look of it - as it's a back garden. This seems to only apply to front gardens where someone has tarmaced (concreted?) more than 5 square metres. Sorry about that - I have the feeling the only way that garden is going to get sorted is if she sells the house to ...

I'm wondering whether this might fall under the fact that one has to have planning permission??? isnt allowed??? to have more than about an area big enough for one car to park in tarmaced (or concreted?) over these days unless permeable paving is used. It sounds like she has concreted over a larger ...

In that position personally - I would certainly clear the ivy my side (removing it totally) and do whatever is necessary to MY fence (you have admitted it is yours) and then the neighbour will have the chance to clear your ivy that has overgrown onto her side (ie because you will have removed the ri...

Hello champignon, There are thousands of properties which have "a right of way at all times and for all purposes with or without motor vehicles"(or similar), written in the title deeds, which enables them to use land belonging to a neighbour is a specific way (easement). Those who know no better, w...

Thank you for your replies, but, I must add, I am a little surprised that someone can come along, and break ancient party wall laws; and excavate heavy original boundaries markers and in the process, damage property belonging to innocent neighbours, its a throw back to feudal times, when different ...

following.....as I have a neighbour that thinks like this.

People are not legally allowed to block a "Right of Way". Vehicles can only be parked there temporarily - to "load or unload" people or goods. I would have thought this lane comes under that heading.

Now wondering if Mr Sheen is Sprocker's nfh.

Perhaps it's more about trying to predict what the neighbours will actually do rather than what they're legally entitled to do. You mean like call the police and claim criminal damage? LOL - and, by now, it does rather look like it would serve OP right if they did so too. He seems to be determined ...

Once again thank you for your interest and reply Idefixuk. I don't think it is practical or pleasant to drive along right next to the Houses. As you say that's a historical artefact for whatever reason. I have read that rights of way do not include verging rights which is the right to overhang the ...

- One thing I couldnt make out from all this - was this passageway pretty much the way it looks now at the time you bought your house? = was your house accessible by car on that ROW at the time you bought your house? Can you give us the date of your purchase?

Tried sending you a private message with a query re sewers under communal land.

Not sure if I've managed to send it okay? Hope it gets through to you okay.

It's my understanding that even legitimate users of ROWs aren't allowed to change the surface to be of a different description - so even one of the 3 houses legitimately using the ROW couldnt have changed the surface from cobblestones to concrete without consent from the other two. I'd have fired of...
